This private 4-day tour from Casablanca to Marrakech is the ideal way to cross Morocco from the Atlantic coast to the Sahara and back to the Red City — taking in imperial cities, cedar forests, palm valleys, dramatic gorges and a night under the stars in the Erg Chebbi dunes.
From cosmopolitan Casablanca you’ll travel to Rabat and the medieval medina of Fes, cross the Middle and High Atlas to the golden dunes of Merzouga for a sunset camel trek and a Berber desert camp, then return west through the Todra and Dades gorges and the UNESCO-listed kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. It’s fully private — your own driver-guide, air-conditioned vehicle and the freedom to stop whenever the landscape calls.
Your 4-day tour from Casablanca to Marrakech begins with a morning pickup in Casablanca, Morocco’s cosmopolitan business capital. You’ll pause at the majestic Hassan II Mosque — one of the largest in the world, its minaret rising above the Atlantic — and take in the seafront corniche.
Continuing to Rabat, the nation’s capital, you’ll see highlights such as the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Kasbah of the Udayas, before driving on to Fes for dinner and an overnight stay.
After breakfast you’ll explore the medieval medina of Fes — a UNESCO World Heritage labyrinth of souks, tanneries and the Al-Qarawiyyin — then set off south. You’ll pass through alpine-style Ifrane and the Azrou cedar forest, home to wild Barbary macaques.
Crossing the Middle Atlas via Midelt, you’ll follow the palm-lined Ziz Valley as the scenery turns Saharan, reaching Merzouga in the late afternoon. A camel is waiting to carry you over the Erg Chebbi dunes to your desert camp for dinner, Berber drums and a night beneath the stars.
Rise early for a spectacular sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes, then return by camel for breakfast at camp. Today you head west across the desert, stopping at the lively market town of Rissani and the Tafilalet palm groves.
You’ll reach Tinghir and the Todra Gorge, where cliffs nearly 300 metres high hem in a cool river — perfect for a short walk — before continuing to the green Dades Valley for dinner and an overnight stay in a local hotel or riad.
After breakfast you’ll follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the Dades Valley and the Rose Valley of Kalaat M’Gouna toward Ouarzazate, “the Hollywood of Africa,” where you can visit the Taourirt Kasbah and the famous Atlas Film Studios.
The final highlight is the ancient fortified ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and backdrop to films from Gladiator to Game of Thrones. After lunch nearby, you’ll cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass back to Marrakech, where your tour ends with a drop-off at your accommodation.
